you at a minibuffer prompt just hold down backspace to delete entered 
    characters (this is quite common behaviour in situations like that) then 
    Emacs will delete all characters up to the prompt and then show "Text is 
    read-only".

Now I understand the issue.  What change could we make?

We could change the error message to say "Prompt is read-only".
Would that make it clearer, do you think?
